Important Information

Thank you for purchasing this Panasonic digital cellular phone. This phone is designed to operate on GSM networks – GSM900,

GSM1800 and GSM1900. It also supports GPRS for packet data connections. Please ensure the battery is fully charged before use.

We, Panasonic Mobile Communications Development of Europe Ltd., declare that the EB-G50 conforms with the essential and other

relevant requirements of the directive 1999/5/EC.

A declaration of conformity to this effect can be found at

http://www.panasonicmobile.com

Safety Considerations

The following information should be read and understood as it provides details which will enable you to operate your phone in a

manner which is both safe to you and your environment, and conforms to legal requirements regarding the use of cellular phones.

This equipment should only be charged with

approved charging equipment to ensure

optimum performance and avoid damage to

your phone. Other usage will invalidate any

approval given to this apparatus and may be

dangerous. Ensure the voltage rating of the

Fast Travel Charger is compatible with the area

of use when travelling abroad. A Fast Travel

Charger (EB-CAD55xx*) is supplied with the

Main Kit.

Note* xx identifies the Charger region, e.g. AU,

CN, EU, UK, US.

Use of another battery pack than that

recommended by the manufacturer may result

in a safety hazard.

If you use a feature which keeps the key

backlight on continuously for a long time, such

as a game or the browser, battery life will

become extremely short. To maintain longer

battery life, set the key backlight to off. See

“Setting Brightness”.

Switch off your cellular phone when in an

aircraft. The use of cellular phones in an aircraft

may be dangerous to the operation of the

aircraft, disrupt the cellular network and may be

illegal. Failure to observe this instruction may

lead to the suspension or denial of cellular

phone services to the offender, or legal action

or both.

Important Information

Do not incinerate or dispose of the battery as

ordinary rubbish. The battery must be disposed

of in accordance with local regulations and may

be recycled.

It is advised not to use the equipment at a

refuelling point. Users are reminded to observe

restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel

depots, chemical plants or where blasting

operations are in progress. Never expose the

battery to extreme temperatures (in excess of

60°C).

It is imperative that the driver exercises proper

control of the vehicle at all times. Do not hold a

phone while you are driving; find a safe place to

stop first. Do not speak into a handsfree

microphone if it will take your mind off the road.

Always acquaint yourself thoroughly with

restrictions concerning the use of cellular

phones within the area where you are driving

and observe them at all times.

Care must be taken when using the phone in

close proximity to personal medical devices,

such as pacemakers and hearing aids.

For most efficient use hold the phone as you

would any normal phone. To avoid deterioration of

signal quality or antenna performance, do not

touch or “cup” the antenna area while the phone is

switched on. (See “SAR Statement”.)

Unauthorised modifications or attachments may

damage the phone and violate applicable

regulations. The use of an unapproved

modification or attachment may result in the

invalidation of your guarantee – this does not

affect your statutory rights.

This equiment should only be used with

Panasonic approved accessories to ensure

optimum performance and avoid damage to

your phone. Panasonic is not responsible for

damage caused by using non-Panasonic

approved accessories.

This Panasonic mobile phone is designed,

manufactured and tested to ensure that it

complies with the specifications covering RF

exposure guidelines applicable at the time of

manufacture, in accordance with EU, USA FCC

and Australian ACA regulations; or as

specifically stated in the separate declaration

leaflet enclosed with this product.

Please refer to our website for latest

information/standards and compliance in your

country/region of use.

SAR

European Union – RTTE

THIS

PANASONIC PHONE (MODEL EB-G50)

MEETS THE EU REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio

frequency (RF) energy recommended by The Council of the European Union. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and

establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines were developed by independent scientific

organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The limits include a substantial safety margin designed

to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR

limit recommended by The Council of the European Union is 2.0 W/kg*. Tests for SAR have been conducted using standard operating

positions with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined

at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is

because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In

general, the closer you are to a base station antenna, the lower the power output.

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with the European R&TTE directive must be shown. This directive

includes as one essential requirement the protection of the health and the safety for the user and any other person. The SAR value

for this model phone, when tested for use at the ear, for compliance against the standard was 0.494 W/kg. While there may be

differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the EU requirements for RF exposure.

*The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue. The limit

incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in

measurements. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting requirements and the network band.

For SAR information in other regions please look under product information at

http://www.panasonicmobile.com/health.html

Care and Maintenance

Pressing any of the keys may produce a loud

tone. Avoid holding the phone close to the ear

while pressing the keys.

Extreme temperatures may have a temporary

effect on the operation of your phone. This is

normal and does not indicate a fault.

If you use the phone for a long time in

temperatures over 40°C, the display quality

may deteriorate.

Do not modify or disassemble the equipment.

There are no user serviceable parts inside.

Do not subject the equipment to excessive

vibration or shocks.

Do not drop the battery.

Avoid contact with liquids. If the equipment

becomes wet, immediately remove the battery

and contact your dealer.

Do not leave the equipment in direct sunlight or

a humid, dusty or hot area.

Never throw a battery into a fire. It may explode.

Keep metallic items that may accidentally touch

the terminals away from the equipment/battery.

Batteries can cause property damage, injury, or

burns if terminals are touched with a conductive

material (i.e. metal jewellery, keys, etc.).

Always charge the battery in a well ventilated

area, not in direct sunlight, between +5°C and

+35°C. It is not possible to recharge the battery

if it is outside this temperature range.

When connecting the phone to an external

source, read the operating instructions of the

equipment for the correct connection and safety

precautions. Ensure the phone is compatible

with the product it is being connected to.

When disposing of any packing materials or old

equipment check with your local authorities for

information on recycling.
